06/18/2012TUNISIA - ISLAM.(we love all the colors and we are not like these sad men with long beards) The Arab revolution could fail, Islam must modernise. by Bernardo Cervellera. During the first session of the Oasis meeting in Tunis, the country's transition is the main topic of discussion. In a country recently freed from dictatorship, Salafist groups are trying to impose﻿ Sharia. Leftwing and atheist parties, which took part in the revolution, are instead trying to ensure freedom for everybody. It is urgent for Islam to be receptive to the principle of freedom of religion and freedom of conscience and protect the rights of those who do not believe. Card Scola addresses the conference. Tunisia's revolution does not depend on the West.

TUNISIA - ISLAM.(we love all the colors and we are not like these sad men with long beards). Tunis (AsiaNews) - The Jasmine Revolution, whose initial spark came in Tunisia, could "fail".﻿ A solution lies in the "modernisation of Islam" and the "Islamisation of the revolution". This means that the future of Arab revolutions will depend on the room Islam will take and whether it has any place for religious minorities or atheists. The first session of the scientific committee of Oasis began this morning in Tunis on such a serious note. This year's topic is Religion in a society in transition. How Tunisia challenges the West.

TUNISIA - ISLAM.(we love all the colors and we are not like these sad men with long beards) The word "transition" best describes what is happening in that country. After the fall of the dictator, Ben Ali, and the elections won by the Islamist party Ennahda and Salafists, Tunisians are trying to find a common path towards freedom. Prof Yadh Ben Achour sounded the alarm though. "If Tunisia﻿ does not meet the challenge of modernity, the revolution might fail," leading to a new dictatorship, not one based on personal power, but rather on ideology and religion. For Ben Achour, who is president of Tunisia's High Authority to Achieve the Revolution's Goals, the country's coalition government is split between two tendencies, a radical Islamic wing that wants to introduce Sharia, and a second one that is more open and modern.

TUNISIA - ISLAM.(we love all the colors and we are not like these sad men with long beards) For﻿ instance, a few days ago, the authorities moved against some radical imams who in their sermons called for the application of Islamic rules in courts (cutting off legs, feet and more) in the case of common crimes. By contrast, they did nothing to stop Salafists when they attacked an art exhibit and burnt some "blasphemous" works by self-styled "atheist" painters and artists. In Tunisia, civil society can play an important role in countering radical trends. This is especially true for leftwing opposition groups and trade unions, which led the resistance to the Ben Ali's regime, and carried out the revolution, along with the Ennahda.

TUNISIA - ISLAM.(we love all the colors and we are not like these sad men with long beards) In his address, Prof Ben Achour noted that during a 2005 hunger strike organised by Ennahda and the left, the﻿ two sides agreed on a number of issues concerning the state, women's rights and citizenship. This allowed Ennahda to move "towards democracy" and helped leftwing parties to accept some demands made about Islam. The strength of civil society explains why Islam will be recognised as "state religion" in Tunisia's constitution, but the country's legal system will not be based on the Sharia (a point Ennahda Chief Rachid Gannouchi also accepts). This is not the case in almost all other Middle Eastern countries.

TUNISIA - ISLAM.(we love all the colors and we are not like these sad men with long beards) According to Tunisian-born Harvard Prof Malika Zeghal, coexistence can be based on a balance and the country's past is a source﻿ for such optimism. During the rule of Tunisia's first president, Habib Bourghiba, Islam was a point of reference, but personal freedoms were protected in law and equal rights guaranteed for men and women. Such a balance could be favoured by a "pragmatic compromise" that might lower current tensions. However, more work needs to be done on its foundations. For Ben Achour, something is needed before all else. Islam must defend freedom of religion, especially freedom of conscience, and this means the possibility for anyone to have no religion (atheism) or change religion.

TUNISIA - ISLAM.(we love all the colors and we are not like these sad men with long beards) Without it, Tunisia could slide towards a theocratic state that limits personal freedoms and cuts itself off from its own rich culture, which includes poets and philosophers critical of an Islamic religion reduced to a collection of codified laws. Card Angelo Scola, president of the Oasis Foundation, opened the morning session with his greetings and address via video linkup since he could not be in Tunis. In his speech, the archbishop of Milan said that the West must consider the failures of secularisation. In fact, the sacred is making a comeback and this has made it necessary to revitalise freedom of religion, which is the foundation of all freedoms. For Card Scola, space for religions, as﻿ a basis for individual dignity, is an area in which Christians and Muslims can work together.

TUNISIA - ISLAM.(we love all the colors and we are not like these sad men with long beards) Modern society defined by openness to man and religion is not the same as today's society. Indeed, Ben Achour and Zeghal criticised the West for holding back the "Jasmine Revolution" and backing the ruling dictator whilst making noises about "Western democracy". Tunisia's revolution was not influenced by the West, Ben Achour noted. It is an entirely "indigenous" phenomenon. It shows that human beings were created for freedom and that they can sacrifice themselves in their struggle against dictatorships that humiliate and corrupt."There is no American plot" behind the Tunisian revolution, Zeghal said, "only the work of Tunisians. For this reason, a compromise﻿ among the revolution's various strands will succeed because that is what Tunisians want."

EGYPT. [nothing can be worse:﻿ of: hand over power to the criminals: islamists Salafi: this initiative of Army?: removes the 3° world war: imminent] Egypt' Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) is taking advantage of the clashes between the two presidential candidates, Mohammed Morsy (Muslim Brotherhood) and Ahmed Shafiq (a former prime minister under Mubarak). In a declaration, the SCAF issued a decree that limits the powers of the future head of state and gives itself the power to choose members of the future constituent assembly. The declaration was signed last night, just before polls closed, just a few days after Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court dissolved the lower house of parliament, effectively terminating the constituent assembly as well.

[ horror NORTH KOREA: 900,000 prisoners will be killed in gulags of Pyongyang] if Koreas are reunified. This is the charge of a former North Korean prison guard, now a refugee in the south, who speaks of special plans to eliminate work camp detainees in the case of reunification between the two Koreas. Seoul (AsiaNews) - In case of reunification between the two Koreas, about 900,000 North Koreans will be killed immediately and in silence. They are prisoners of the North Korean gulags, a slave army forced by the regime to live only in order to produce, often imprisoned without any accusation and deprived of any human rights. This is the charge of Ahn Myong Chol, a former North Korean prison guard who fled his country after working in prison camp number 22, and currently﻿ a refugee in South Korea.

[ horror NORTH KOREA: 900,000 prisoners will be killed in﻿ gulags of Pyongyang] During a meeting held a few days ago at a South Korean university, the dissident charged: "The world must become more aware of the situation in North Korea, where the regime survives through the terror inflicted on its citizens, and sends millions of people to the labour camps without any justification". According to Ahn, the gulag population is at grave risk: "By my own experience, I know how little the government cares about the fate of those who live in the labour camps. In case of the reunification of the two Koreas, emergency plans are ready to kill all of the prisoners, who otherwise might later become witnesses against the socialist leaders and against the prison guards".

[ horror NORTH KOREA: 900,000 prisoners will be killed in gulags of Pyongyang] The dissident worked in the gulags from 1987 to 1994. After the arrest of his﻿ father and the execution of his entire family - "guilty" of criticising a government decision - he decided to flee. He says of the camps: "They are the worst place in the world and, at the same time, the key to the regime's survival. It uses the gulags as a means for controlling the population through terror, and also as a source of manual labour. For example, camp 22 produces an enormous quantity of coal at almost no cost". Entire families live inside the camps, since the political thought of Kim Il-sung - the first North Korean dictator, and the father of "dear leader" Kim Jong-il - imposes incarceration on traitors "until the third generation".

[ horror NORTH KOREA: 900,000 prisoners will be killed in gulags of Pyongyang] For this reason, Ahn confirms, "the children and nephews of those found guilty are sent﻿ to the camps, to turn them against their own families, which are pointed out as the real source of their suffering ". In conclusion, the former prison guard denounces: "After facing the nuclear problem, the international community will not seek to help North Korean citizens, who suffer from the continual violation of their human rights. And yet this is the Achilles heel of the regime".

[06/18/2012.﻿ NORTH KOREA: More than 200,000 condemned to die in North Korea's labour camps] According to the testimony of Jo Chung-Hee, a former party member who converted to Christianity, the country has six labour camps holding religious leaders (mostly Christians) and political dissidents. In 2008, prisoners numbered 900,000 but they were killed by famine. Seoul (AsiaNews) - At least 200,000 people are languishing in North Korea's labour camps. Christians represent about 20 per cent, held for more than a decade. Many of the inmates have no hope of getting out alive since North Korea's ideology holds that a criminal remains so "for at least three generations". The testimony comes from Jo Chung-Hee, a former Communist party member who converted to Christianity.

[06/18/2012. NORTH KOREA: More than 200,000 condemned to die in North Korea's labour camps] According to his information, the regime operates six labour camps. The worst is Camp 14, known as a "complete control district," which means that its 50,000 prisoners will work there until they die. Camp 22 is about the size of Los Angeles and is﻿ thought to be used for human experiments. It too holds about 50,000 prisoners. Camp 25 is run by the North Korean secret police and is believed to hold felons, religious leaders, alleged Western spies and their families. Few people have come out of the camps alive. Although the average sentence is 15 years, life expectancy on average is only seven years in a place where torture and hard labour are common currency. Up to three generations of entire families have been detained, working in heavy industry and coal mining.

[06/18/2012. NORTH KOREA: More than 200,000 condemned to die in North Korea's labour camps] After the Korean War (1950-1953), Kim Il-sung, North Korea's first president and "Father of the nation," ordered the creation of labour camps for South Korean prisoners of war so that they could be kept under control and exploited. Within five years, political dissidents and protesters began filling up the camps, especially clergymen and religious believers,﻿ above all Christians, for their opposition to the regime. According to data published in 2008, such camps held about 900,000 people. The current lower number of prisoners is due to the high mortality rate that resulted from the famine and humanitarian crisis of 2009, which the Communist regime ignored completely.

» 12/06/2011. [ INDIA. Orissa: a global report on the 2008 anti-Christian pogroms is released ] In the 197-page document, the National People's Tribunal of the National Solidarity﻿ Movement, a coalition of social activist groups, draws a global picture of Hindu fundamentalist violence against Christians in Kandhamal, including the context, the human, socio-economic and cultural impact of the attacks, the authorities' responses and possible solutions to bring justice and dignity to survivors. Bhubaneswar (AsiaNews) -- The National People's Tribunal (NPT) issued a 197-page report on the 2008 anti-Christian violence in Kandhamal by Hindu fundamentalists that left hundreds dead. Organised by the National Solidarity Forum, a national coalition of social activists, the jury heard direct testimonies from 45 victims, survivors and their representatives, and draws a global picture of what happened before, during and after the pogroms.

[ INDIA. Orissa: a global report on the 2008 anti-Christian pogroms is released ]The report is divided into four parts. The first provides the background and context to the violence in Kandhamal in 2008. The second focuses on the human, cultural and socio-economic impact of the violence. The third analyses the responses of the authorities to the violence. The﻿ fourth and concluding part of the report lays down the final observations and recommendations to bring justice to survivors. Its overall goal is to help victims achieve justice and give peace and dignity to survivors.

[ INDIA. Orissa: a global report on the 2008 anti-Christian pogroms is released ]As a start, the study notes that the violence against Adivasi and Dalit Christian communities in Orissa violated basic rights, like the right to life, liberty and equality guaranteed by the Indian constitution and asserted in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the International Covenant on Economic, Social and﻿ Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). The brutality of the violence falls within the definition of 'torture' and 'crimes against humanity' under international law. Hindu fundamentalists used religious conversions as a pretext for political mobilisation and incited horrific forms of violence and discrimination.

[ INDIA. Orissa: a global report on the 2008 anti-Christian pogroms is released ] Women and children were the most affected. Women were victims of sexual violence and the law of silence that prevailed afterward at different levels. Women and girls still face extreme vulnerability, fed by constant threats of rape that their attackers use to instil fear in their menfolk. Children have been most affected by the impoverishment many families experienced as a result of the violence, and this has compromised their physical and intellectual development. Many of the children who suffer from acute trauma after witnessing violence against their parents have not received any psychological assistance. Because of their﻿ families' financial difficulties or fear of discrimination from school authorities, many children have dropped out of school.

[ INDIA. Orissa: a global report on the 2008 anti-Christian pogroms is released ] From a cultural and socio-economic point of view, the violence in Orissa created about 50,000 refugees, 10,000 of whom are still displaced. This and the destruction of many churches and prayer halls, and the failure to reconstruct them have deprived the survivors of their right to religious practice﻿ and reduced them to a state of secondary citizenship. The criminal justice system was rendered ineffective by the authorities' ambiguities and omissions, including police, judges and the state itself, as well as their collusion with extremist groups. The State of Orissa abdicated its constitutional duties to protect people's life and human rights, especially of its most vulnerable members.

[ INDIA. Orissa: a global report on the 2008 anti-Christian pogroms is released ] It did so by keeping away NGOs during the rescue and rehabilitation phase and by creating relief camps that denied inmates the right to a life of dignity as established by the Indian constitution and recognised by the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, 1998. The report ends with a list of suggestions to revitalise the justice system for Christians in Kandhamal. In the area of socio-economic and cultural rights, it recommends the application of the﻿ National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) and other livelihood schemes offered by the state and central governments to the affected community, without any discrimination based on caste, religion or gender.

[ INDIA. Orissa: a﻿ global report on the 2008 anti-Christian pogroms is released ] Equally, it calls for the implementation of widow pension schemes, the provision on compassionate grounds of government jobs to individuals from families of dead victims, the reinsertion of survivors employed in government service prior to the violence and their transfer to areas they perceive to be safe and secure, and the offer of soft loans to start small businesses. Relief camps should also meet minimum international standards of health, hygiene and privacy. Similarly, they should provide medical and psychological support to and meet the educational needs of children.

[ INDIA. Orissa: a global report on the 2008 anti-Christian pogroms is released ]In legal terms, the report calls for compensation to displaced people and victims' families. It calls for a Special Investigation Team (Sit) to re-examine already registered First Information Reports (FIRs) for accuracy, examine registrations of new FIRs, and recommends fresh﻿ trials outside of Kandhamal. Furthermore, it calls for protection for victims and witnesses before, during and after the trial process according to the guidelines provided in the judgments of the Delhi and Punjab and Haryana High Courts.

The well-known human rights activist receives death threats. "I devoted my life to marginalised and oppressed people," Asma Jahangir said, "I will not be deterred." Politicians, religious leaders and members of civil society come out in a show of solidarity. NCJP leaders call on the authorities to guarantee her safety. "[W]e are all with her," Peter Jacob said.

[[These are my Muslim brothers]] PAKISTAN: Lahore (AsiaNews) - Church leaders and representatives of Pakistan's Christian community joined the Joint Action Committee for Human Rights in Lahore in a show of solidarity with Asma Jahangir, the well-known human rights activist who has fought for the weak and marginalised in society. In recent days, she received death threats from extremist groups. Personal attacks against someone with her high and positive profile have generated panic among civil society actors, lawyers and human rights defenders. However, "I﻿ devoted my life to marginalised and oppressed people," Asma Jahangir said. "If these threats are intended to make me stay at home, rest assured I will not be deterred."

[[These are my Muslim brothers]] PAKISTAN: Before the rally, a conference was held on Friday at the Aiwan-i-Iqbal in Lahore. It drew more than 700 Muslims and Christians, lay people and religious, prominent political leaders and representatives of about 30 civil society organisations and movements including the National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP) of the Catholic Church as well as the Women Action Forum and the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance. Fr Emmanuel Yousaf Mani and NCJP﻿ Executive Director Peter Jacob condemned the threats, asking the authorities to find out who is behind them and to ensure Jahangir's safety.

[[These are my Muslim brothers]] PAKISTAN: Fr Mani gave assurances that the Catholic community would support and pray for her and encourage her "noble cause". The clergyman mentioned her fight for the abolition of the blasphemy law and her action on behalf of the victims of the 'black law'. Echoing his sentiments, Peter Jacob praised the human rights activist for her "four decades of struggle" in favour﻿ of "the rights of all citizens," especially "the marginalised and dispossessed". "I assure Asma," he added, "that we are all with her and that we will never step back at the time of sacrifices. We are ready to lay down our lives for her."

[[These are my Muslim brothers]] PAKISTAN: Alyas Rahmat, a young Christian who is also the director of Chanan Development Association, told AsiaNews, "All of us human rights activists are under threat and we face dozens of challenges." Asma's case came to the fore because of her "international reputation" as a "courageous woman" devoted to the cause. She is "a model and a source of inspiration" for others. Balochistan Senator Asif Jonaijo recounted Jahangir's campaign on behalf of missing people in the province and her work in﻿ favour of peace and interreligious harmony.

The pastor of a Pentecostal Church and 12 families of his community were seriously wounded, in the district of Balasore. The police seized explosives and dynamite in another district (Puri) of Orissa. According to the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC), Hindu nationalists are preparing a "diabolical plan" to repeat the 2008 violence of Kandhamal.

where is Gandhi to Orissa: INDIA satanic Hindu: [Christians Martyrs again again again] Mumbai (AsiaNews) - A new "brutal attack" in Orissa, which responds to a "diabolical plan": this is how Sajan George, president of the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC), defines the violent assault committed by more than 50 Hindu ultranationalists against Evangelist Baidhare, the pastor of the Pentecostal Fellowship Prayer group, and 12 families of his community. The violence took place in the district of Balasore. According to the GCIC president, the attack﻿ "is meant to terrify the Christian minority. They want to repeat what happened in 2008, with the anti-Christian pogroms in the Kandhamal district." Confirming this hypothesis was the discovery of some handmade explosives in another district of the state.

where is Gandhi to Orissa: INDIA satanic Hindu: [Christians Martyrs again again again] On June 15, a group of Hindu nationalists attacked and seriously injured the Rev. Baidhar, 50, while he was returning home in the village of Mitrapur after a prayer service. The attackers left the minister on the ground, bleeding. Shortly after, some believers found him and took him to a local hospital to receive the necessary treatment. When the Hindus found out that Rev. Baidhar had been rescued, about 50 of them attacked 12 Christian families, injuring 20 people, young and old, and attempted to rape a﻿ few girls. Not content with that, the attackers looted their homes. Following the attack, many members of these families vanished into thin air, and there has been no news of them since. The suspicion is that they are hiding in the jungle, as happened in 2008 in Kandhamal.

where is Gandhi to Orissa: INDIA satanic Hindu: [Christians Martyrs again again again] Sajan George says that the GCIC in Bhubaneshwar only discovered what had happened on June 16, and immediately denounced the events to the police of Nilgiri. A few days before, in﻿ the district of Puri (Orissa), the local police at Brahmagiri seized more than 50 homemade bombs and 12 charges of dynamite, hidden in a hut in the village of Gambhari. According to police, the explosives found would have been used to organize a new anti-Christian pogrom to take place a short time afterwards, similar to the attacks in Kandhamal in 2008.

where is Gandhi to Orissa: INDIA satanic Hindu: [Christians Martyrs again again again] Between December 2007 and August 2008, Hindu ultranationalists killed 93 people, burned and looted more than 6,500 homes, and destroyed over 350 churches and 45 schools.

[superiority of the Christian educational system] 06/18/2012. SRI LANKA. Monk beats Catholic boy because he could not name the Buddha's parents. by Melani Manel Perera The incident occurred in the Mahanama College Getambe in Kandy (Central Province). Amila, 13, bled in the left ear but without permanent damages. Despite a report being filed, police did not arrest anyone. Education Department rules say that students have a right to be taught their religion, and that schools have an obligation to provide religious courses for﻿ students of different faiths. Kandy (AsiaNews) - A 13-year-old Catholic student, Amila Tharanga, was assaulted by his teacher because he could not name the Buddha's parents. The incident occurred on 11 June at the Mahanama College Getambe in Kandy (Central Province), but it took sometime before the boy told his parents.

[superiority of the Christian educational system] Although the attack was reported to police, no arrest warrant was issued. Amila was wounded to an ear during the attack, but the injury is not permanent. "When the Buddhist monk came into the classroom to teach the Buddhism course, Amila went to seat in the back," Fr Nandana Manatunga, director of the Human Rights Office in Kandy, told AsiaNews. "However, the teacher forced the boy to sit in the front row and began asking him questions. The latter told him that he was Catholic. At that point, the monk said, 'Even if you are Catholic, you should know Buddhism,' and then proceeded to beat him, causing his left ear to bleed." Despite the boy's condition, no one in the school tried to treat his wounds. The monk﻿ and another teacher warned him not to mention the incident.

[superiority of the Christian educational system] When his brother Gashan, who attends the same school, found out, he went immediately to Amila's classroom, but was himself threatened by the monk. "When he arrived home, the 13-year-old was scared and went to bed because of the pain in his ear, without saying a word," the clergyman﻿ said. "When he started to throw up, his father P.G. Tilakaratne began asking him about what had happened, until Amila told him everything." The next morning, the parents brought the boy to the Kandy General Hospital, where he was treated immediately.

[superiority of the Christian educational system] On 13 June, his father went to a local police station to report the incident. The Mahanama College Getambe is a Buddhist school with many Christian students. Under the rules of the Education Department, students can study their own religion even if they do not practice the school's main religion. However, in this particular school, this right has not been enforced, and﻿ teachers are known to punish students, even physically.

[superiority of Christian humanism] NEPAL. End of year exams: boom in suicides among Nepalese students. by Kalpit Parajuli. At least ten young people, mostly girls, have taken their lives over the past three days. Among the causes, the excessive pressure of the families that bind their own position in society to the success of their children. In 2012, the number of students who failed exams has risen by 10%. Catholic schools are the exception. Kathmandu (AsiaNews) - A boom in suicides among Nepalese students under pressure because of the end of year school exams. In the last three days, 10 young people have taken their lives as a result of not having﻿ passed the final exam. Pratikchya Sharma, 15, of Nepalgunj (Mid-Western Region) hanged herself in her room when she learned that she had failed.

[superiority of Christian humanism] Like her, another young woman, Sarita Rana, from the district of Palpa, took her own life because she failed the final exam. In a high school of Shree Ram, a student killed himself by ingesting poison when he discovered he had failed the written exam of three subjects. The cases do not apply, however, to the Catholic schools, which are considered the best in the country, where most of the students are accompanied by their teachers during﻿ the entire examination period. Manprasad Wagle, a psychologist, identifies among the causes of the suicides the increase in poverty caused by the political and social crisis in the country. "State schools" - he adds - "also have some responsibility, the pressures on young people are excessive and there is nobody to help them face the examinations with serenity."

[superiority of Christian humanism] The expert explains that in Hindu society the success or failure in education of children is a social discriminatory factor for the whole family. "When one fails an examination" - Wagle says - "he or she is regarded with contempt by friends and family and this makes the young people lose all hope, pushing them to commit suicide." This mainly affects women. Those who manage to get an education will have a better chance of marrying an educated and wealthy man. The School﻿ Leaving Certificate (SLC) is a certificate of diploma which allows the student to make the transition to university. For 2012, there were almost 500,000 candidates, of which about 47% failed the test. The number of failed exams has risen by 10% compared to 2011.

[superiority of Christian humanism] Catholic schools are an exception in the education system of Nepal. Run by the Jesuits, they are considered the best in the country. This year, 100% of their students passed the﻿ examinations and there have been no cases of suicide.

On the first Saturday of each month, our director, Dr. Carl Baugh, gives the "Director's Lecture Series", with a different scientific topic presented each month. The lectures are held at the museum. Lecture times are 11:00 & 2:00 p.m.
